Overview
- Scholars and organizers describe Minnesota’s neighborhood- and church-based coordination as a replicable template, with Mayor Jacob Frey and Gov. Tim Walz cited as key early voices of opposition.
- Unidos reports roughly 30,000 people trained as legal or constitutional observers, creating an easy on‑ramp for widespread, ongoing involvement.
- The nationally promoted Jan. 30 “No Work, No School, No Shopping” call produced minimal economic disruption and did not amount to a general strike.
- Protests and actions continued over the weekend in Minneapolis and in cities ranging from Los Angeles to rural Maine.
- Movement leaders are pivoting to targeted private‑sector campaigns tied to ICE operations, noting a win with Avelo Airlines’ break and continued pressure on Hilton, Target, Enterprise and Home Depot.
